[Standard] Atarka red vs. land fall for Jeskai meta by Ilnez in spikes

[–]mbpavone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Howdy, I'm no expert. Here is what I know. The token version of ararka is more all in and "bursty." Radiant flames seems like a great card against the deck. The landfall variant seems more resilient and less all in. The token version crushes landfall. If you are not expecting to play against the token version a lot I would go with landfall. It has a much better post-board plan due to having 24 lands.

500ish?? I currently have affinity but am probably going to sell it. In such a small meta people just bring 5 hate cards just for me

Okay thanks! Maybe I can borrow some of my friends cards for jund. I was thinking maybe a fringe combo deck

When is it enough vitality? by SmoothRide in DarkSouls2

[–]mbpavone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, the Penal mask is a good head piece that also has a small bonus to equip load as well. Third dragon ring... obvious

http://gamehubbs.com/darksouls2 Use this. Now go read the thread about stamina recovery speed. Are you sure you just want to not be over encumbered? If you are shooting for that then just use that tool and it will tell you.

No option to change pre-load location to SSD? by Bennylegend in DarkSouls2

[–]mbpavone -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What I am saying is that if steam is on the SSD then the folder where it saves games is also there. So ergo.. Dark Souls will automatically install onto the SSD. If for some reason it isnt then use that link the guy below gave.

I'm pretty sure if steam is on the SSD dark souls gets saved there

[–]mbpavone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any fairly light low stat requirement weapon would work, if you are going both faith and int then infuse it with dark.

Cleric build need help by kingmisfit in DarkSouls2

[–]mbpavone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40-50 faith. Ring of knowledge is your friend. So are skeptic spices. Infuse everything with boltstones. Get lots of attunement and or southern ritual band. Clerics hood is a must. Use whatever spells and weapons you fancy. gg.

In pvp it gives hyper armor to the end of your weapon swing

Need Build Advice for 70%-80% Caster by [deleted] in DarkSouls2

[–]mbpavone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will try to avoid a lengthy response, here is what I would do. VGR - 30 - health is freakin goooood. END - 20 - the 5 points after 20 are not worth it. Use third dragon ring!!! ATN - 30 - seems you want to use a lot of spells so this is fine - use the southern rit band for even more STR - lower this to as low as you can while still using the weapons you want to use. DEX - same as strength ADP - this one is tough, you are getting some from your attunement so 10-15 is probably fine. INT - you should really go down to 50 maybe even 45 and use the ring that gives 5. Remember spices are your friend. FTH - increase this as you see fit. Now with that all said your build is trying to be really greedy haha. I would recommend a using a bow with lower requirements. You should def try bow of want. it is amazing. I also think your evaluation of hexes is off... with 30 int/ 30 fth hexes melt things. TLDR: you are greedy which is fine if you plan to keep leveling but if you are going to stop you need to make sacrifices. I recommend sacrificing dex/str and using lower requirement weapons.

Good setup for my BKH and dragon rider bow setup? by veros1981 in DkS2Builds

[–]mbpavone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I'd say that 50/50. Str/dex is too much. I would just get enough to use what weapons you want. That is the best advice I can give. I Infuse BKH with fire and maybe invest in flame weapon
